A radio communication system
where the modulating and demodulating components that have
typically been implemented in hardware are instead implemented
using software on a personal computer or other embedded computing
devices using by a converter. While the concept is not new, the
rapidly evolving capabilities of digital electronics are making
practical many processes that were once only theoretically
possible!

A basic MDSR(SDR) may consist of a computer (PC) equipped with a
sound card, or other analog-to-digital converter, preceded by
some form of RF front end. Significant amounts of signal
processing are handed over to the general purpose processor,
rather than done using special-purpose hardware. Such a design
produces a radio that can receive and transmit a different form
of radio protocol (sometimes referred to as a waveform) just by
running different software!

The MDSR software performs all of the demodulation, filtering
(both radio frequency and audio frequency), signal enhancement
(equalization and binaural presentation). Uses include every
common amateur modulation: morse code, single sideband
modulation, frequency modulation, amplitude modulation, and a
variety of digital modes such as radioteletype, slow-scan
television, and packet radio. Radio Amateurs also experiment with
new modulation methods: for instance, the DREAM open-source
project decodes the COFDM technique used by Digital Radio
Mondiale and compatible stations.

Although this website is made by
radio amateurs and for radio amateurs others can take advantage
of these homebrew projects! No need to own a Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom
transceiver or receiver, Alinco or other transceivers. Most basic
receivers has a MF unit that can be tapped. Software Defined
